Zechariah 3
1 Then [Yahweh] showed me Joshua, the Supreme Priest, [who was] standing in front of the angel that Yahweh had sent. And Satan was standing at Joshua’s right side, [ready] to accuse him.
Me mostró al sumo sacerdote Josué de pie ante el ángel de Yahvé, y a Satanás de pie a su derecha para ser su adversario.
2 But Yahweh said to Satan, “Satan, I am rebuking you! I [am the one] who has chosen Jerusalem [to be my special city, and I] am rebuking you! This [man, Joshua], [has been brought back from Babylonia]; he is surely [like] [MET, RHQ] a burning stick that has been snatched from a fire.”
Yahvé dijo a Satanás: “¡Yahvé te reprende, Satanás! ¡Sí, Yahvé, que ha elegido a Jerusalén, te reprende! ¿No es éste un palo ardiente arrancado del fuego?”
3 Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.
Josué estaba vestido con ropas sucias y estaba de pie ante el ángel.
4 The angel said to those [other angels] who were standing in front of him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” [After they did that, ] the angel said to Joshua, “Look! I have taken away [the guilt of] your sins, and I will put beautiful clothes on you.”
Este respondió y habló a los que estaban delante de él, diciendo: “Quitadle las vestiduras sucias”. A él le dijo: “He aquí que he hecho pasar tu iniquidad de ti, y te vestiré con ropas ricas”.
5 Then I said to them, “Put a clean turban on his head!” So they put a clean turban on his head and put [new] on him, while the angel sent by Yahweh was standing there.
Dije: “Que le pongan un turbante limpio en la cabeza”. Entonces le pusieron un turbante limpio en la cabeza, y lo vistieron; y el ángel de Yahvé estaba de pie.
6 Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:
El ángel de Yahvé sólo aseguró a Josué, diciendo:
7 “The Commander of the armies of angels says that if you do what I want you to do [IDM], and obey my instructions, you will (be in charge of/have authority over) [what is done in] my temple and its courtyard. And I will allow you to speak at any time to the angels who are standing near to me.
“Yahvé de los Ejércitos dice: ‘Si andas en mis caminos, y si sigues mis instrucciones, entonces tú también juzgarás mi casa, y también guardarás mis atrios, y te daré un lugar de acceso entre estos que están de pie.
8 Joshua, [you are] the Supreme Priest, and your (associates/fellow priests) are sitting in front of you. They symbolize/represent things that will happen in the future. [Some day] I am going to bring someone who will work for me, someone who will be called the Branch.
Escucha ahora, Josué, el sumo sacerdote, tú y tus compañeros que se sientan delante de ti, porque son hombres que son una señal; porque, he aquí, yo sacaré a mi siervo, el Renuevo.
9 Look at the stone that I have put in front of Joshua. There are seven sides on the stone. I will engrave a message on that stone, and in one day I will remove the guilt of [all the people of] this country.
Porque he aquí la piedra que he puesto delante de Josué: en una piedra hay siete ojos; he aquí que yo grabaré su inscripción’, dice el Señor de los Ejércitos, ‘y quitaré la iniquidad de esa tierra en un día.
10 At that time, each of you will invite his friends [to come and sit] under his grapevine and under his fig tree. [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels declares.”
En aquel día — dice el Señor de los Ejércitos — invitarás a cada uno a su prójimo bajo la vid y bajo la higuera”.
